Raritan electro scan® Treatment System - 12v

The Raritan Electro Scan Treatment System – 12V is a patented marine sanitation device engineered to eliminate viruses and bacteria from vessel wastewater using electrochemical disinfection. Operating on a 12-volt electrical system, this treatment system generates active disinfectant by applying an electrical charge across specialized plates when seawater or supplemental salt water passes through the unit. The high-speed macerator simultaneously breaks down solid waste material, maximizing contact between discharge and disinfectant for superior treatment efficiency.

The 12-volt configuration makes this system ideal for smaller vessels and auxiliary power applications where full 110V or higher voltage installations are impractical. At 23 pounds with compact dimensions of 17 x 11 x 18 inches, the Electro Scan fits tight engine room or galley spaces without requiring extensive structural modifications. The system's dual-function design—simultaneous disinfection and waste processing—reduces the need for multiple devices, streamlining both installation and maintenance routines on working vessels.

Weekend fishermen and serious offshore operators both benefit from reliable marine sanitation. This treatment system is particularly valuable for extended offshore trips where black water holding tank capacity becomes a constraint, and for coastal cruising where environmental regulations increasingly mandate active treatment systems rather than simple holding tank discharge. The electrochemical approach avoids chemical additives, making it environmentally compliant in sensitive marine zones and reducing ongoing consumables costs associated with traditional treatment methods.

Raritan's Electro Scan system operates across fresh, brackish, and saltwater conditions—a critical advantage for operators who transit between river systems and offshore environments. The requirement for adequate salt concentration (whether naturally present or manually added) ensures consistent disinfectant generation and effective macerator performance. Proper installation with compatible through-hull fittings, waste lines, and electrical connections is essential; consult your vessel's technical documentation or a marine surveyor to confirm compatibility with existing sanitation plumbing before purchasing.
